Methanol has found some footing as an alternative fuel for commercial shipping, but it remains largely sidelined in other transportation sectors, including leisure watercraft. British design firm Chartwell Marine is looking to plot a new leisurely course for the fuel with help from a £320K (US$400K) government grant and a partnership with shipbuilder Archipelago Expedition Yachts. The parties will together develop the Zero.63, an eight-person catamaran that can travel thousands of miles while burning only methanol, a cleaner combustion alternative to diesel or gas.

When it comes to fighting the deadly brain cancer known as glioblastoma, options are very much limited. This led a Canadian research team to take a novel approach. They tricked cancer cells into taking up carbon nanotubes, and they then shredded those cells by spinning the tubes using magnetic force. The treatment in mice shrunk tumor size and extended the rodents' lives, a finding that has the researchers hopeful for a similar result in humans.
